Coney Island Commons Housing/YMCA

This project was part of the groundbreaking NYSERDA Multi-Family Performance Program and incorporated many elements of sustainable design.

Our work on this project included designing and implementing energy efficient mechanical systems, water conserving fixtures, extensive use of natural light and lighting controls

We designed the MEP/FP systems for a new 160,000 SF co-op, divided into 152-units, 75% of which is affordable for low and middle income families.

A 40,000 SF YMCA features an aquatic center with a lap pool and family recreational pool, a gymnasium, fitness and multi-purpose rooms. The project participated in the NYSERDA Multi-Family Performance Program and incorporated many elements of sustainable design including energy efficient mechanical systems, water conserving fixtures, extensive use of natural light and lighting controls. It also made use of recycled, regionally manufactured renewable materials. A “green” roof includes natural grasses and native wildflowers.
